A Satisfactory Test.
From the Manchester Courier


Five pounds to the man who can prove that
any two things put into this refrigerator will
taste of the other" He was cute Yorkshire
man. and having placed a refrigerator at his
shop door one hot summer day with the above
sign hung over it, retired inside to await the ex-
pected rush of customers. People passing up
and down the street jostled each other in their
hurry glanced at the refrigerator and its sign,
and went on.
After some hours of disappointed hope and
expectation the tradesman saw a pedestrian
halt, calmly peruse the wonderful announce
ment and rather unhesitatingly advance to the
door DO you mean it, he inquired in an
anxious tone, pointing over his shoulder to the
sign. Yes sir" emphatically responded the
shopkeeper. Put down your money!" insinu-
ated the stranger mo, sir" replied the trades
cash" IAN right, I'll take you, responded the
stranger, and departed. He returned shortly
after with a box under each arm. Stick to
your agreements" he queried. "Of course |
will" answered the shopkeeper, wondering
what he had in view.
The stranger set his box down on the pave
ment, and a crowd began to collect. He told
the tradesman that he was afraid that he the
tradesman) would back out of his bargain, but
the latter asserted his readiness to put down the
money il necessary. The stranger opened q
box, lifted out cat and placed her in the re-
frigerator Then he opened the other box and
took therefrom u wire cage containing large
rat Now sir, said he, you just shut that
door in hurry when ! flop the rat inside. and
I'll bet you another FLYER that one will taste OF
the other in less than five minutes!" The crowd
shouted the shopkeeper slammed the refrigera-
tor door and rushed into the shop with remark
about fools and swindlers. He still refuses to
recognize the strangers claim to the five
pounds, but has taken in his sign.

The New tangled Fashions.

From the Colonel
How loose round my waist were the clothes Of
my childhood,
AS nv double-laced corset reminds me with
pain.

The hustle know, is a thing highly treasured
BY all ladies built on the hooking bird style,
But give me that garment with looseness I'M
measured,
The old mother hubbard, which weak men
revile.
The dear mother hubbard,
Fhe loose mother hubbard,
The time -honored hubbard.
Which beats any style.
In this modern day the loose hubbard is

street;
But the back-action hustle is too large to be
blightcd,
So holds perfect sway with the light weight
There's all kinds of bustles, all shapes and all
They're all artificial, but wonderfully made;
| There's the cloth, steel and wooden, and each

With the size of the dear one who needs their

The iron-bound hustle,
The wire-woven hustle,
The old-fashioned hustle
So wonderfully made

| And not like the hustle concealed from our
view,

Authors and Newspaper Men.

Some time ago young man who is ambi-
tious to make a name in literature wrote to
the editor of a leading daily newspaper ask
ing advice The reply was in the form of a
short letter, in which the editor said: ''If
there is anything else you can do to make
living, let literature alone. There is room
for very few literary men in this country.
As TO newspaper work, don't think of it.
Newspapers employ none but men of ex-
perience."
Naturally, the young man was discour-
aged. He was spirited enough, however, to
write to the editor and ask him these two
questions; when the few literary men for
whom there is room in this country die,
who is to take their places! Where do the
men of experience employed by newspapers
get their training"
There is a great deal of nonsense in the
advice given to those who are impressed
with the belief that they may achieve liter
airy success or earn fairly good place in
the ranks of newspaper workers. In litera-
ture it is difficult, of course, to win rem own.
Only few do so. But this is no reason why
those who desire to enter that field should
out effort. The best thing to do in what
ever vocation one may choose is
TO work earnestly, determined to succeed.
II failure results, the experience obtained is
at least worth something Some of the most
successful authors were advised to give up
their aspirations and engage in some other
work. Suppose they had accepted the ad-
vice. He that determines to engage in lit
erature should be as independent as he that
enters upon any other vocation. Let him
ask nobody's advice but work out his own
success or failure, just as men do in the le-
gal or medical profession, or in business. AS
to newspaper work, the young mans ques
ton is pertinent Experienced newspaper
men were once without experience. 1t is
sometimes said that the journalist, like the
poet, is born, not made; but, unless he is
permitted to work for a newspaper, it goes
without saying that he is not likely to dis
cover for what he is born. The trouble
with most young men who desire to engage
in newspaper work is that they are not con-
tent to begin on the lowest round Of the lad
der They wish to take positions that re-
quire the very training they cannot obtain
except by beginning at the bottom. Content
to begin in this way, there is no reason why
any bright young man should be deferred
from undertaking newspaper work He
will soon discover whether or not he has
fitness for what he wishes to do. One thing
is certain 1t doesn't pay to ask advice on
the subject. Every man should strike out
for himself, following the bent of his in
clinations and remembering that where
there's a will there's way.

The Rdihcay Age for July contains an
interesting summary of the railway con
struction in the United States during the
first six months of the present year. Be
tween Jan. / and June 80 there were laid a
little over 1874 miles of new main line
track, besides several hundred miles of
sidings. This is an addition of ,403 miles
since the statement published June 1, which
is a very large increase for single month.
During the period mentioned tracklaying
was going on in thirty-seven of the forty
seven Stat and Territories the number of
lines concerned being 1856. The showing of
new construction was far larger than that
for the corresponding period in any pre-
vious year excepting 1889, when nearly
5000 miles were laid in the first six months
and ! l. 563 in the year. The nearest ap-
proach to this was in 1881, when about 800
miles were reported in the first six months
out of 9, 796 for the year. The RdH,cdy Age
does not regard it as safe to base estimates
of the total years work very closely on the
record of tho first six months, because in
some years the work begins much earlier
and continues much later than in others,
and various other unforeseen conditions
affect the result; yet from n study Of the
field the prediction is made that the total
new mileage laid in 1887 will not be less than
10000 miles, with the likelihood, perhaps, of
surprising the record of 1882.
OF the 3, 754 miles already laid this year
over 900 wore contributed by seven COM
panes. They were the. Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, 632 miles; the Missouri Pa
cific, 1872 miles; the st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Manitoba, 80 miles; the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific 252 miles; the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, 215 miles; the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, 81 miles; the
Southern Pacific, 100 miles. OF the South
ern States, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida made the best showing, they
having constructed respectively 107, 81
and IS miles OF the Southwestern States
Texas made the best showing, with >AS0
miles In the New England and Eastern
States very little was done. The only States
and Territories from which no track laying
was reported were Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Della
ware, Maryland, West Virginia, Idaho and
Nevada.
The Railloay Age concludes its sum
mary with the statement that the railway
system of the United States now aggregates
in round numbers al 300 miles This is
almost double the total mileage of the
country thirteen years ago, and is more
than three times that of twenty years ago.
1t is thought not improbable that the end
of the present century, twelve-and-a half
years hence, will see the railway system
increased to more than 100000 miles.
